From the
Dow Blog this morning came one of the most fluent
and powerful
denunciations of America's immigration disaster that
I've have seen in a long time:

"The demographic
tsunami unleashed by mass immigration has economic
impacts… but there are some obvious political
consequences…as well… traditional political
institutions, and especially parties and their campaign
tactics, will compete for this new bloc of voters. In
doing so, they will adapt to the demands, interests, and
values of immigrants by abandoning issues and
constituencies they have supported in the past…Might the
growing Mexican influx and surging influence reverse…the
American Southwest?...Who exactly gave these hombres [
Clinton andGW] the right to welcome a 'new America,' and
what might it look like from a political standpoint?...
today's stream of immigrants is significantly different
from its predecessors…the GOP, allegedly the party of
law-and-order and fiscal sanity, will provide carte
blanche legal amnesty to law-breakers, and cut them a
Social Security check at the same time, as long as their
pandering will be rewarded at the ballot box..."

This
well-reasoned and intellectually sophisticated piece
ought to be read and used by everyone awake to the
issue.

What strikes
me, as a professional journalist, is how hot the
poltical lava boiling under the surface has become when
an amateur with
small children will write a 1,500 word article (
half a week's work for a
Goldberg Reviewflack) and then post it on a
free, and I gather, not too well known, blog.
